052: Why Our Boys Need Rites of Passage to Become Modern Men with Steven Arms

In this episode of The Modern Man, I speak with Steven Arms, a husband, father of two (with one on the way), and author of "Milestone to Manhood: A Christian Rite of Passage to Help Your 13-Year-Old Son Make the Leap from Boyhood to Manhood" which he co-wrote with his dad. Listen in as Steven breaks down the importance of rites of passage for modern boys along with how parents can facilitate rites of passage for their sons to acknowledge and embrace their manhood.

Steven shines light on what happens when boys don't experience a rite of passage into manhood, the seven rituals in a modern boy's rite of passage, and even how single mothers can facilitate a rite of passage for their son(s). Steven also speaks on the benefits of hosting a rite of passage for both the boys experiencing it and the men hosting it.

"Our modern Western society doesn't really have an equivalent coming of age event and I think that's one reason why we are failing to develop men who are truly, virtuously masculine… That's why we see men extending their boyhood, extending their adolescence, into their 20s and 30s." – Steven Arms
